Great job to everyone on day one at JAG’s! Aulea
swimmers made 55 new PB’s in 70 races (almost 80%) and
achieved 15 new AA and 4 new AAA times. Leading the charge
were Puna Blair (100 back, 200 free),
William O’Donnell (200 free) and
Walker Slay (200 back) who all made new AAA times
qualifying them to compete in Maui this summer. Way to go
everyone and best of luck on day 2 tomorrow. Aulea is in a
tight race for the overall team victory and with a great day
tomorrow we can make that happen.

Here is your weekly news:

Congratulations to our senior sectional team of Alana
Barthel, Thomas Caps, Luke Faurot, James Lyon, Jen Reiter, Jon
Reiter, Kai West and Zack West who
will be departing for Federal Way, WA on Tuesday night to compete
from 03/21-03/24 at one of the most prestigious sections in the
country. I will be travelling with them and we can’t
wait to see how our swimmers respond to this exciting new
environment. Good luck athletes!

There will be a Saturday morning practice (03/16) for our Age
Group Regionals squad from 7:30-9:00 AM at Le Jardin Academy.
Please plan on being there!

Polar Bear club pizza party and bag tag distribution will be
held Monday (03/11) night from 620-645. Swimmers
who won polar bear club awards will be released early for this
special occasion! Please see below for a link to all polar
bear winners. As in years past, if you think that your
swimmers should be included and they are not, please email me and
we will add them to the list. We do our best to make sure we
get everyone on the list but due to the high amount of data entry
to compile these attendance lists, sometimes we miss someone.
Thanks for your patience in this matter. Here is the link:
